  • Listening to your friends.

    I love this podcast, Pam, Alex, and Jess feel like friends and I love hearing their travels and learning even more about this point and miles hobby. I am a follower for life, a student of one of their courses, and I'm able to take my family of eight on luxurious strips for very little out-of-pocket because I found this podcast in 2023 on a 2 Week road trip. Within 60 days I had booked a $2200 stay for free and I've been hooked ever since!

    The Points talk squad podcast is fun to listen to and is always providing timely information for points and miles travel. I always listen while I workout because it’s so upbeat and informative. Even when things in the travel space have changed for the worse, they are always looking on the bright side and sharing the new options. The podcast has a great balance of travel inspiration and tips for maximizing the credit cards in your wallet.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE

    I absolutely love this podcast. I literally am excited about Tuesdays because I know a new episode is going to drop. I have learned so much from these ladies. And I can’t wait to take my first trip. In less than a year I earned 400k points to use for my big dream of a multigenerational trip to Spain. Even if I don’t travel anywhere else I know that trip will be worth the time spent listening to these amazing women, purchasing their course and subscribing to their premium podcast.
